What it is

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Website visitors who are not Glean customers still have their browsing data collected and shared with third parties for marketing purposes, which engages cookie consent requirements in the EU and UK.

Interpretive note: Specific verbatim text for this provision could not be confirmed from the truncated HTML; the characterization is based on visible page infrastructure (GTM, Osano CMP, TechTarget tracking) and standard Glean website privacy practices.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Visiting Glean's website results in your IP address, browser data, and page interactions being collected and shared with third-party analytics providers, and your ability to limit this depends on how you respond to the cookie consent banner.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

    When visiting Glean's website, use the cookie consent banner (powered by Osano) to decline non-essential cookies. Click 'Manage' or 'Deny All' in the consent dialog to limit tracking. You can also adjust your browser's privacy settings to block third-party cookies.
